The M107 bridge and a walkers bridge over Mud Creek displays several signs of being "up north": the huge drift wood log at the mouth of the creek on Lake Superior; the orange lichen on the concrete; the oh-so-brown water. You cross Mud creek just before you come to the Union River that is the eastern boundary of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. This stretch of beach is Superior at its best: beautiful sand, rocks large and small, driftwood galore, and very few people! For people you go the presentations by the current Artist in Residence at the park. Mary's Detroit Photo of Lake of the Clouds sent me back to my UP photographic archives, but not too far since this is from our trip last September.

ReplyDeleteI think I can see why it's called Mud River. LOL
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo in your header. Is it Lake Superior, Huron or Michigan?
I like that name, Mud Creek! :D
ReplyDeleteEG Wow, on the masthead is Lake Michigan, about 10 miles north of the Indiana/Michigan border. But much of the east coast of Lake Michigan looks just like this, marvelous sand dunes and beaches stretch for miles.
ReplyDeleteinteresting shot. i'm curious about the Porcupine Mountains--are there a lot of porcupines in the state park?:p
ReplyDeleteI love this photo!

Another spot I'm going to try to see this summer.
ReplyDeleteA very unusual bridge. Quite low. But I like that it has a square opening instead of round.
